CHANGE LEGAL PUNISHMENT FOR RAPE TO DEATH PENALTY IN INDIA

Heinous rapes, pedophile serial rapists, mass molestation and groping in everyday life.The nature of sexual crimes in the country are horrifying. Despite mass appeals of thousands to the lawmakers, for change in punishment after the Delhi rape case, nothing has changed. Crimes are increasing everyday, even children are not being spared.

The dark ages seem to be upon us, while the rest of the world is marching ahead towards gender equality.

"Human dignity is the gift of God, something given to every person, regardless of class or caste, gender, race, sexual orientation or identity, or dis/ability. The violence of rape offends that dignity, and crushes and breaks human beings, near and far."

If we want a country that is safe for our children, safe for our family, one that can command respect globally, we have to take measures which match the nature of the crime.

Leniency of punishment has made the country uninhabitable. I urge everyone to demand for change. Not a single metro, not a single village in the country is safe anymore. Our families are living in fear.

Instead of instilling fear in the minds of rapists, the lenient laws have ensured our families are living in fear.

Our families need to be secured, we want the punishment for rape to be changed to death penalty.
